on the 17th inst., and reperts that his vessel was seized by the China Captain at that place and plundered of a large portion of her lading. It appears that While the vessel lay •in Pahang river the Com mander had some dispute with his crew, who in revenge for what they considered ill treatment on his part, deposited some prepared Opium in the boit and laid information against him, upon which be was immediately arrested, imprisoned in the house of the China Captain, and sentenced without a hearing to pay 4 fine of two hundred dollars. When the unfortunate man re• turned to his beat he found that the crew had left her, and that she bad been plundered of property to the amount •of 1,200 dol lar& He immediately repaired to the China Captain, who re fused to give him redress, and denied all knowledge of the seizure of the boat, although the Commander was well apprized that a considerable portion of the goods which had been taken were lodged in his stores. The Chinaman finally complained to the Rajah, but his Majesty was either too indolent to pay attention to him, or too much afraid of the China Captain to give the poor man any satisfaction. The answer of his Majesty to his petition was, " that the China Captain knew the affairs of all Chinese so much better than he did, that he would not interfere, as he was confident the China Captain must be right." In all Malay ports the head of the Chinese has great influence in the affairs of Government. At present the state of Pahang is almost entirely governed by a rich Arab and the China Captain, who supply his Majesty with money and opium, pay him the out ward respect due to the Sovereign, and relieve him of all the bur den of Legislation and the cares of Government. We have received a Brazilian Paper, entitled 0 Spectador Brazileiro, of the 22d of June. It con tains an account of the proceedings of the Chamber of Deputies of the previous day, which does not pOssess the slightest interest. In it we find likewise a letter of the English Consul at Monte Video, addressed to the Brazilian Admiral, complaining of the detention of two English ships, the Monarch and Jessey, seized at the mouth of the La Plata, on pretext of their at tempting to force the blockade of Buenos- Ayres. The Consul does not deny the right of the Emperor of Brazil to blockade the capital of his enemy, but he declares that the blockade was not effectual at the time of the capture, many ships of other nations having entered and sailed outwards without molestation. The Admiral in his reply declares the blockade a good one, and cites the practice of Great Britain during the late War to establish its validity. It was mentioned in the accounts which accompa nied the intelligence of a treaty of peace being ratified with the Burmese Monarch, that some severe fighting had taken place previously. Private letters from Calcutta, dated March 5, state, that on the 30th January, a force of between 400 and 500 Burmese, posted at a place called Watamachoote, were charged by a Party of the Governor-General's Body Guard, under Lieut. TRA NT. About fifty of the enemy were either sabred or shot, and amongst them a chief of rank named MONTOUNGBO. The remainder were dispersed. On the 9th February, the enemy, in considerable force, having ventured out of their stockades, and form ed on the plain, were attacked by the force under Sir ARCHIBALD CAMPBELL, and completely defeated, at a place called Paghamew, which was captured, to gether with 40 pieces of artillery and 90 jingalls. Sir A. CAMPBELL, with a small escort, is stated to have been at one time completely surrounded, but the enemy were speedily put to the rout, and about 500 of them were either killed or drowned, being driven into the River at the point of the bayonet. Our loss is said to have been extremely trifling. It is now reported confidently that the ATTORNEY GENERAL will succeed LORD GIFFORD as Master of the Rolls, and as Deputy Speaker of the House of Lords. In the latter case a Peerage must attend his elevation to the Bench. The improvement which has already taken place in the state of trade, since the Order in Council for the admission of Oats and Pulse, may be considered as atrording some criterion by which to form an opinjohl of the effects which would result from the more general opening of the ports. What the effect may be upon the state of the Money Market remains to he shown, but to our comtnercial interests generally, there can be no doubt that the most beneficial conse quences must ensue from the adoption of this measure. We are ready, however, to admit that the immediate influence of the importation of corn will be prejudicial to the Landowners ; its ultimate effect must be beneficial to them as well as to every other class of persons in this country, because the interests of the Agriculturist and Manufacturer are so intimately connected, that if one is in a flourishing condition, the other must necessarily be likewiie so: But op pressed as the land is 'with various Taxes and Rates to which other descriptions of property are not liable, we think that it w ill b e found expedient and necessary to relieve the land of some portion of those payments with which it is exclusively saddled at present, by throwing a part of them upon the other great branch of property in this country, v i z . t h e Public Securities. We are not advocates for, and will never lend our support to, any measure with regard to the Funds which may in the smallest degree be constru ed as a Breach of National Faith ; but con sidering the Funds as solid and substantial Property as the land, we cannot see upon what Principle of justice they should be exempted from the PaYment of some part of the Taxes, Y which for the Bee urity, as well as fex the necessary expellees of the State, and the relief the Poor, are now entirely drawn trulli the land. The holders of Stock were as much interest ed in the successful termination of the w ar " the Landowners, and once admit that Stock is r ° PertY guaranteed by the State, as firmly as Land, t Z t r e:son can b e a dd uce d f or con ti nu i ng its exemp anti) 'ruin taxes, ren d ere d necessary f or th e p ro t ec ti on 3.eetirity of th e w h o l e S tate . N or can it be as froo any degree of reason, that the Income Pro perty in the Funds shoulti be exempted film contributing to the relief of the Poor, while the same amount of Income derived from the Land would be subject to a payment (on the general average of the whole Kingdom) of two shillings and sixpence in the pound. It appears to us, therefore, to be no less just than expedient that property in the Funds should be subject to a contribution towards the national necessities and the support of the indigent poor, who have the same claim upon the rich in stock as upon the rich in land. The attention of the new Parliament will, Ae hope, be early directed to this subject, in order that the con stant struggle which will otherwise be carried on be tween the 'Landowner and the Stockowner, may be put an end to, which will not be less for the security of tke latter, than for the just interest of the former. Upoa a full perusal of Mr. Jo II N WILKS'S many headed letter, we think it a pity to deprive our readers of a production so unique in its character, and so much in keeping with the eccentricity of the writer. It will be found in another column, dealing out destruction and absurdity in pretty equal mea sure. The unhappy Gentleman has very diligently ransacked the dictionary of vengeance for long words, as conveying, no doubt, a more expressive' . idea of the interminable duration of his wrath ; but this offspring of his invention is as little blessed with common sense, as the depth of his own black diamond mine with the light of day. It was, however, very charitable in him , to give the Newspapers timely warning of their impending destruction, for all are destined to undergo the annihilation of his " fell swoop." But one thing-in this letter is not a little singular—Mr. JOHN WILKS, jun., congratulates him self upon enjoying the entire " confidence of his friends, and above all putt peace cif mind resulting from an honest conviction of having acted .with rectitude and honour, as a man, and a gentleman, which no unfaithful reporter, or unprincipled stock jobber can ever hope to possess,"—and yet, after all this, he is not contented with his happy lot !—Poor man, his peace of mind, we fear, is not of this world, — it is all vanity and vexation of spirit.

His LORDSHIP has at length declared, and with no small re• . luetance, that he will sit again on Monday and Wednesday, but on no other day for this season. MOTIONS AND PETITIONS FOR INJUNCTIONS. His LORDSHIP desired to have it publicly understood, that the established practice of the Court was, that during the vacation, all applications to be made to the Chancellor or any branch of this Court for injunctions to stay waste, or to dissolve injunctions, ought to be made - by petition, and' not upon motion, which he wished to be attended to in future; and though he did not intend to sit in public after Wednesday next, yet any Solicitor having such applications to make, by sending the petitions and affidavits to him, he would immediately attend to them, and write orders upon them. He meant to devote some hours in every day of the vacation, to getting through some of the business before him, remaining to be disposed of in judgment: After having heard several applic a ti ons , i n a lmost all of which the parties failed from defective records, his Lordship rose. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE.--(Tits DAY.) James Keen was brought up on a charge of enthetzlement. A witness came forward, and gave the prisoner a good cha racter. He attributed the proceeding to a partlic r dispute. The Loan MAYOR dismissed th e charge. BOW-STREET---(Tms Div.) This being the day appointed for hearing the evidence in the charge of bigamy, against Thomas Taylor, the tailor, who, as our readers must recollect, had lately been brought before the Lord Mayor by Mr. Heapy, of the Stock Ex change, for having assaulted him, in consequence of a sus picion that he had carried on a criminal conversation with the tailor's wife; the office was crowded at an early hour by persons connected with the parties, among whom, was the first wife of the prisoner, who appeared to be about forty years of age; she was rather shabbily dressed; took much interest in the proceedings, and seemed very dejected.. The prisoner made his appearance accom panied by his solicitor, Mr. Harnett. In a few minutes after, Mr. Butler, the solicitor for the prosecutor, entered with Mr. Adolphus. The case being called on, Mr. ADOLPHUS said, that he was desired to state that this prosecution was carried on in the name and at the expense of Mr. Heapy. In consequence of the publicity given to certain proceedings which took place before the Lord Mayor, respecting the prisoner and Mr. Heapy, in formation was sent to the latter from Birmingham, which led to the present prosecution. Mr. would rather hear nothing respecting the Lord Mayor at present. Mr. ADOLPHUS meant nothing disrespectful to the worthy Magistrate, in mentioning the nam e o f th e L or d Mayor, but as it had been insinuated that this prosecution was taken up by the way of an answer to an action now pending between the prisoner and Mr. Heapy, he would now show it would have no such effect, for, in the trial of the 'action all the evidence should be as strictly gone into as if no prosecution had taken place; he would make no further observations on that head, but merely say that be should prove the record of the first marriage of the prisoner, and that the first wife was still alive,and also prove the second marriage ; for which purpose he called John liiskef, who pro duced a copy of the record of the marriage of the prisoner, which took place in the parish of Barnett, in Nottingham shire, in the year 1809. Cross-exatnined by Mr. HARNETT—Did not hear that the first wife was married to another person; he received no instructions from Mr. Heapy. John Fewks examined by Mr• ADOLPHUS—Was a lace-maker, residing at Retford, Nottinghamshire ; had married the sister of the prisoner's first wife ; was present in Retford Church, when Ann Graisly was married to the prisoner ; saw her this morning ; she has been living at Birmingham in and before the year 1819, so that any person inquiring for her might find her. Cross-examined by Mr. HARNETT—Heard that she had lived with Mr. Rag; never heard that she had two children by him ; she does not live at present at Warwick gaol with the gaoler ; prisonet had lived in wit n ess's house with his first will, for one mouth after their marriage, which was in 1809; they separated shortly after, and witness had not seen the wife since, until this day; lie never knew her go by the name of Tibbets. Re-examined by Me. Anof.ifus—They complained of each other during the honey-moon. By Mr. HARNETT—Had not heard that prisoner was no more than 17 years old when he married. Mr. ADOLPHUS called Ann Bond—Mt. Harriett said she was in the keeping of Mr. Heapy. Mr. ADOLPHUS—That is an impertinent remark ; and if it came from a gentleman I should say more about it. Ann Bond examined, deposed that she was present when the prisoner had married her sister, Mary Bond, at St. George's Church, Hanover-square, last May seven years. Cross-examined by Mr.HAIIINETT—Did not know how long prisoner had been courting her sister before the mar riage, heard prisoner say that he bad been married, but that his wife was dead ; her sister went to the country to inquire about the first marriage, and when she came back, said she was satisfied that the first wife was dead ; her mother then allowed her to marry the prisoner; they lived happily for four or five years afterwards. James Freeth, a shopkeeper in Birmingham, examined by Mr. ADOLI.MUS—Married a sister of the prisoner, whose father, bro ther, and two uncles, lived at Birmingham now, and in 1819, in which year the prisoner's first xvife also lived there, a fact known to all the family. Cross-examined by Mr. HA ittiErr—She gained her bread by her industry ; she bad 16 or 17 hands under her ; did not know that Mr. Rag had paid for them ; witness gave information of these Affairs to Mr. Heapy by letter ; knew that the first wife went by the name of Tibbets ; could not say how long, but heard her go by that name at his own. house and Mr. Tibbetts. Air. ADOLPHUS objected to these questions. Mr. Hams—They are material if he can show that the pri soner could not find her out in consequence of her going by the name of Tibbetts. Examination continued by Mr. Anoten us--The prisoner had treated his wife very badly while be lived with her. Wm. Smith apprehended the prisoner; was accompanied at the time by Mr. Butler, and Salmon the constable ; he had a how mons in his pocket at the same time for the second wife ; but the prisoner told him that 'she was in Sotnersetshire. Mr. Battywrr would not retract an iota of what he had ad yawed at first, that this was an atrocious conspiracy. Mr. HALLs—.There is no evidence of a conspiracy ; all I want to know is, if there be a case made out which should warrant the committal of the prisoner. _ . .• Mr. Harnett continued his observations respecting Mr. Ifeapy, but was interrupted by Mr. Adolphus, who said, that his obser vations were false and atrocious, made solely for the purpose of having his tine speech in the papers; he never witnessed such barefaced impudence.—Mr. Harnett resumed, and said that as neither of the wives, nor any of their relatives, had taken up this pro secution, it was evident that it was all Mr. Heapy'e doing, for the purpose of obviating the action that was brought against him ; the prisoner therefore should be admitted to bail. Mr. AnoLrinis contended that a felony wa.• clearly ma d e out , and consequently not bailable within the meanin g of the Act of Parliament in that case. ___ _.......... Mr. Alrwarrui.r. observed, that had there been n o extraneous topics mixed u p w i t h t hi s case , t h e impres s i on on his mind should be more fa voura bl e to the pr i soners , but there h a d b een so much family feeling evinced, and so much acritnony displayed, his original view of the case Was considerably altered. It was his duty to decide Oil the evidence before him. The Act of Parliament empowered two Magistrates to accept b a i l i n charges of this nature, where the evidence was o f a doubtful description; but he re t h e f act was clearly prov e d t h at the prisoner h a d married another woman, his own wife bein g then living; and the A ct says , if any married perioP 4141 marry another woman, or man, while his or her own husband or wife be alive, ' and within the kingdom, &c. he shall be guilty of felouy &e. under all these cir cumstances he did not conceive himself j u stified ion 84414611 g tier prisoner to bail. Ile was accordingly coluotitted for trial, and the witnesses bound over t o. p ros ecute,, WORSITIP-STREET--(Tuts DAT.) William Ilinshaw, Samuel Hinshaw, and Joseph Bennett, were brought up, charged with depriving a horse Grits eyes. It appeared that a few days ago the horse in question wo grazing i n 0 !la beh n i g ip g the cumplitlimut, turd iu the evening, on Mr. Tuck (ita owner) . going into the field, he perceived the poor animal with one of its eyes completely out of the socket, and the other nearly as bad. He had not the slightest conjecture as to who the villains were that had so barbarously used the unoffending beast, although he did every thing in his power to trace them out, by offering rewards, &c. How ever, in a day or two after, information was brought to him, that the three defendants were the persons who had inflicted the injury. In consequence of this information lie obtained a warrant for their apprehension. Mr. Tuck said that the animal was so ill that he feared it would not survive. To a question from the Magistrate, Mr. Tuck said, that he knew of no motive the defendants could have in acting so : he had never to his knowledge given any offence, but they had been repeatedly seen throwing stones before at the poor beast. The defendants admitted throwing the stones, but de clared they had no intention of injuring the horse. The MAGISTRATE said it was a most cruel act, but he would consider it in the most favourable way, namely, that they had no intention of knocking out the horse's eyes, and therefore he should convict them in the penalty of 20s. and costs. MARYLEBONE.—(Tuts DAy.) George ArMit and John Imber, young boys about 10 years of age, were placed at the bar on a charge of pro curing bread on false pretences. The prisoners having admitted the charge, were committed. MARLBOROUGH-STREET.-(THIS DAY.) William Milan, an unfortunate limb of the law, was charged by Mrs. Jane Fiddes, of 84, Berwick -street, with stealing a copy of a will belonging to her father. The prisoner was given into the charge of two officers last night, in a state of drunkenness. He was taken to the watch-house,' and searched, but he was without money, and nearly without that necessary appendage to all humanity, a shirt. He, however, exhibited rather a genteel exterior, and on being placed at the bar, com menced as fast as an unlucky habit of stammering would allow, a most luminous speech. But Mr. DYER preferred hearing the charge first. Mrs. F. then stated, that he came to her house, and got possession of the will, and would not give it up again. The prisoner gave an explanation. He had lodged with her for three weeks. Mrs. F.—Yes! and ran away without paying me. He observed, that his salary was not due. He had been, at her request, to Doctor's Commons, to prove if the copy was a true one. He had paid one shilling, and merely re tained it till the complainant had reimbursed him. She agreed to place the one shilling to his credit. He then gave up the copy, and after thanking Mr. Dyer, he with drew. UNION-HALL—(lan DAy.) • A VINDICTIVE BRICKLAYER. —Timothy Smith, a jour neyman bricklayer, was charged with maliciously destroy ing a Venus, iu plaister of Paris, and a group of flowers in the same material. It appeared from the evidence of the complainant that Smith was employed, with many others, in beautifying► his house in Torriniton-place, Newington ; and in consequence of the attention with which the work was Completed, he, the complainant, determined to provide them with an excellent supper, which he accordingly ordered at a neighbouring pub lic-house. The defendant, in consequence of some previous► conduct, was not invited, and the supper went on, and off, without his presence. Timothy felt mortified, and was hourly brooding over the best means of vengeance. In one of these reveries, Venus and her companion stood before him. With Quixotic energy he violently seised the handle of a broom, and at one " fell swoop" levelled the amatory Goddess with the boards. Glutted with con quest, he was silently gazing at the destruction before him, when the complainant, whose ears were almost " stunned with the crash," rushed upon him, and with some diffi culty gave him into custody. Timothy, in answer to this charge, cast only a dejected look around him; his valour had fled ; his courage had quitted its " sticking place," and his power of speech had entirely forsaken4iiin. The Magistrate asked at. what estimate the eotnplaitutni stated his loss. The complainant said, that the smallest estimate would be a guinea ; which Timothy was ordered to puy or else go to prison for 14 days. A person in the office here presented himself and said that rather than see the poor man go to prison, he would pay the sum required, which he did, and the defendant was discharged. HATTON-GARDEN.—cTms DAY.) Char/es Just, a very decent looking lad, was charged by his father, a respectable tradesman. in Pentonville, with robbing him to a considerable extent. On its being stated that some articles pledged by the prisoner were now in the hands of a pawnbroker, he was ordered to be remanded till Tuesday, to endeavour to ascer tain if his depredations had been confined to his father's house. NOTORIOUs SWINDLER.—Mary Rivers, alias Lloyd, alias Mitchell, well known at the west end of the town, where she swindled half the tradesmen, and figured away in a hired eurricle, with her son dressed as a livery ser vant, was brought up on charges of swindling, preferred against her by a host of tradesmen in the neighbourhood (if Lamb's-conduit-street, but with her usual good fortune nothing could be established against her. Mr. LAING said that the complainant had got into the hands of the most notorious swindlers in the metropolis.— She. should net, however, escape immediately, for he should hold her to bail, and require 24 hours' notice thereof. The prisoner behaved with the utmost effrontery during the hearing. UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE. ECCLESIASTICAL PREFERMENTS. OXFORD, SEPT. 9.—The Rev.
